URGENT! January 10, 2003 is the next INS deadline when non-citizen men and boys from 14 countries are ordered to register

December 16 th was the deadline for the 1 st wave of INS registrations. In Los Angeles up to 1000 Iranian and Middle Eastern men complying with Attorney General Ashcroft's registration order were 'rewarded' by being detained. People registering were photographed, fingerprinted and interrogated. Detentions were for minor visa irregularities, often the result of government processing mistakes or delays. They faced harsh conditions, including humiliating strip searches. It didn't matter if these men had lived in the US for many years, were working, going to ! school or raising families. They were treated as enemies. As with the legendary actions of the Danes who protected Jewish people under Hitler, we must commit to stand with those under attack today.
